Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf launched the Tudor Watch Company in 1946 in an effort to offer the public reliable timepieces at affordable prices. Since 2015, Tudor has been manufacturing in-house movements to much acclaim.

Sophisticated, versatile, and built to exacting standards, this Black Bay 36 by Tudor will surely make an essential addition to your collection and a fabulous piece for any occasion, any ensemble.

Its lovely stainless steel case with a fixed bezel measures 36 mm in diameter, 10.5 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a folding buckle.

Peer through the flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and we encounter a handsomely clean light champagne-colored dial with luminous hands and applied hour markers. A minute track in black is prominent against the dial as is the luminous center seconds hand.

In the engine room we have a little piece of magic, the self-winding automatic Manufacture MT5400 caliber, which is a highly accurate COSC-certified chronometer and delivers a convenient 70-hour power reserve.

Additional features include an attractive Tudor rose in relief upon the screw-down winding crown and a 100 m / 10 atm water resistance.

Standout feature(s): Highly accurate COSC-certified chronometer with 70-hour power reserve; attractive Tudor rose in relief upon screw-down winding crown; 100 m / 10 atm water resistance.
